Austin Prock announced as his new driver. Sounds like only one car for 2026. Weird that Bob will step out of the seat.

Drag Racing once again the red headed stepchild! Only 10 - 15 second announcement with BT3 and Prock standing in the crowd and not even on stage. Indicates how much FORD thinks of drag racing compared to their other racing venues.

If you try for 18 years to win an NHRA Funny Car Championship and can't then the next thing you do is try to buy one. I know it won't happen but I hope BT3/Procks fall flat on their face. The word is BT3 isn't the easiest to work for I hope all the alpha personalities clash! No loyalty for all that JFR did for the Procks over the years. I expect to get a lot of crap for this post but I had to say it.

We knew this was coming. What surprised me is, Bob stepping out of the seat. I thought this would be a two car team.

No crap from me. I TOTALLY agree. After what JFR has done for the Prock family, this is effed up. JFR has the car, and the data. I hope Jorden Vandergrift rocks that car.

I too, expected better and in the thread: " The Procks, where are they going? " I was most tempted to post: "They're goin' DOWN!" but thought better of that.
Now I wish I would have, but Karma is REAL and we'll see it play out.
